Maddy summaryThe American Citizenship Integrity Act creates a new federal crime for knowingly recruiting or transporting non-citizens into the United States with the intent to have them give birth to children who would automatically gain U.S. citizenship. Individuals convicted of this offense face up to 15 years in prison, while those involved in organized schemes affecting three or more people can be sentenced to up to 30 years and subject to asset forfeiture. The bill also makes any foreign national inadmissible if they seek entry specifically for the purpose of "birth tourism" and allows for the revocation of citizenship for naturalized citizens convicted of these fraud-related offenses. To enforce these changes, the legislation establishes an interagency task force co-chaired by the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security to coordinate investigations, develop detection guidance, and submit annual reports to Congress on enforcement activities and statistics.
Maddy summaryThis bill would require Medicare to cover early detection screening tests for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias starting January 1, 2028. It defines eligible tests as FDA-cleared genomic blood tests, blood product analyses, or equivalent medical imaging methods (like protein expression or whole genome sequencing) that detect pre-symptomatic or early-stage conditions. Medicare beneficiaries would receive this coverage without cost-sharing for these specific screenings. The bill amends Medicare coverage rules to explicitly include these tests under Section 1861(nnn) of the Social Security Act.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires all new passenger vehicles manufactured for sale in the U.S. to include AM radio as standard equipment (not an optional add-on) by 2027-2028, depending on manufacturer size. It mandates that AM radio receivers must be easily accessible to drivers and allows compliance through digital AM broadcast technology. During a transition period, manufacturers must clearly label vehicles without AM radio but cannot charge extra for this feature. The bill also mandates a GAO study on AM radio's role in emergency alerts and includes a 10-year sunset provision for the rule. It preempts state laws regarding AM radio access in vehicles.
Maddy summaryThe Survivor's Voice Protection Act makes nondisclosure clauses unenforceable if they prevent victims of sexual abuse or others from disclosing facts related to such abuse, a rule that applies retroactively to contracts signed before the law is enacted. The bill also requires fiduciaries, such as guardians or trustees, to report suspected grooming behavior to law enforcement within 90 to 180 days of learning about it. Victims who suffer harm due to a fiduciary's failure to report can sue for damages in federal court, and state attorneys general may also bring civil actions on behalf of their residents.
National Law Enforcement Officers Remembrance, Support and Community Outreach Act. [ sic ] This bill temporarily directs the Department of the Interior to award a grant to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund for the expenses associated with operating and enhancing the community outreach, public education, and officer safety and wellness programs of the National Law Enforcement Museum.
Maddy summaryThis bill, known as Kayleigh's Law Act of 2026, requires federal courts to issue permanent restraining orders against defendants convicted of certain serious crimes, prohibiting them from contacting their victims for the rest of their lives. The law applies specifically to individuals convicted of violent felonies or felony offenses involving sexual acts, including crimes like child exploitation and human trafficking. Courts must include these orders in sentencing, and violations are treated as contempt of court, while the only way to lift the order is if the conviction is overturned or pardoned. The bill also ensures that victims cannot be charged any fees for obtaining these protective orders and clarifies that the restrictions apply regardless of state laws.
Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act This bill prohibits federal contract bid solicitations for contractor personnel from including minimum educational requirements unless the contracting officer justifies the requirements. The prohibition applies to educational requirements that may be met through education alone, education or experience, or a combination of education and experience. The bill also requires the Office of Management and Budget to issue implementing guidance to federal agencies, including instructions for contracting officers that encourage using alternatives to education requirements.
Maddy summaryThe Gender Delusion Disqualification Act would amend federal employment laws to prohibit individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria from holding specific government jobs or credentials that require meeting mental health standards. The bill defines "covered positions" as executive agency roles where regulations already mandate mental health criteria for appointment or continued service, and extends this exclusion to any federal license or certificate issued under similar conditions. Agencies would be required to issue implementing regulations within 180 days of enactment to identify which specific positions and certifications fall under these new restrictions. The legislation explicitly states that it does not impose additional standards on employees in roles that do not currently have established mental health requirements.
